[QUOTE="FungusProudKY31, post: 1663441, member: 40881"] High labor costs always increases the speed of automation. Fast food will become more of a vending service or go out of business. A lot of groceries stores are already closing and merging. That is also a labor issue at the root. The expansions are groceries sitting on the floor or on a shelf in the boxes and prepackaged fruits and vegs. The government ought to play fair and let employers print up extra money, too. That would be fair! ;) Internet sales are an advantage on lack of store investment and sitting inventory but also is a lessening of labor in shipping, handling, stocking, sales and such. Buy from Walmart or Target online and get 4 boxes for 4 products from 4 places. Walmart and Target likely never touches most and just gets a % for the website presence. But whatever, China has cheap labor. SC is in the process to issue $550 mil in bonds for better rail capacity for the port at Charleston. Quite a setup now but 100,000's more sea containers will leave the post without a semi pulling it in the future. Labor issue in the short run and infrastructure maintenance (highway) costs decrease in the future. [/QUOTE]
